Our work, together with that of others, shows that the conditions for extinction can be set up long before the actual extinction event.”

Gee, just like the Democratic party....

As for the wooly mammoth, maybe they made for a nice BBQ once you scraped off the wooly part. How tough could it be to kill one of these slow moving animals for a bunch of guys with spears?

Someone postulated that maybe only a few were actually killed by man. They’d kill one and talk about for the next 20 years..........

I have a small collection of spear points. No way any number of guys could take them and kill a Mammoth, Mastadon or Columbian.

The trick was to get them to jump off a cliff or fall in a hole.

Most of these points were gathered in a small area where large mammals gathered to eat grass, represent three cultures, and clearly indicate that the users were far more interested in cutting up meat or leather than killing large critters.
